Another RIDE Adventures video has been posted, and it’s the first in the series “How to Pack for Your Motorcycle Trip.” This video is just Part 1 of what will be a 4-Part series, and talks about preparing the motorcycle, and mounting and securing your luggage for adventure tours.
Continuing to write reviews on great motorcycle products I’ve discovered, in this case it’s the Tire Protection System made by Ride-On®.
If one of your unguided motorcycle tours brings you to the beautiful Colca Canyon in Peru, finding a hotel with secure motorcycle parking can be as much of a challenge as it is in major cities with historical districts and Spanish-colonial architecture. Calling ahead for a reservation is always a good idea, but one of these 3 hotels in the area should be ready to host you:
Did you know that if one of your unguided motorcycle tours takes you through the Uyuni Salt Flats you can stay at a hotel made entirely from salt? The best choice: Luna Salada Hotel, (Salted Moon Hotel) right on the edge of this famous stretch of land.
While snow-covered slopes attract skiers, motorcycle enthusiasts everywhere are flocking to the International Motorcycle Shows currently crossing the U.S. Throttles are being twisted and anticipation for springtime is building as the latest offerings from Triumph, Suzuki, Yamaha, and others are mounted by prospective buyers. To compliment all the great new products on display, informative seminars on various topics around motorcycle riding are also drawing crowds.
One of the best-attended seminars in Chicago was “Off-road Adventure Riding” presented by Jeremy LeBreton from AltRider. As if the popularity of shows like “Long Way Round” and movies like “The Motorcycle Diaries” weren’t evidence enough, the crowd gathered around Jeremy’s stage in Chicago certainly tells us that adventure riding is a hot topic in the motorcycle world. Riders: We support you! As Jeremy talks about “finally turning down that road you’ve always ridden past,” it’s easy to see the wheels turning in the heads of riders as they picture getting out there, and getting away…
As an aside, AltRider is making their way into the motorcycle scene with great new accessories and gear for adventure touring motorcycles. Designed and manufactured here in the U.S., I’m about to start using my first item from them (a side stand foot for the KTM 990 Adventure.) Wishing best of luck to AltRider for success in the market, eventually their products could adorn many of the motorcycle rentals we offer through RIDE Adventures!
Another great opportunity to communicate with the motorcycle riding world just published in a recent interview with Bruce Steever during the International Motorcycle Show in New York.
We posted another video about motorcycle adventure tours in Patagonia!
Is your fuel filter blocked, or has your fuel pump gone bad?
We've had a fun couple of weeks full of publicity, talking about adventure tours with motorcycle riders, and enjoying the International Motorcycle Show in New York City. Not only was our picture and the name "RIDE Adventures" listed in the back of the 2011 IMS Guide, but our interview with Bruce Steever from Advanstar was a nice opportunity to share our thoughts about the show.
